A Bird Escapade! Communion and REST

 Yeah... I know this post title is a little bit random. Hello everyone! Hope you all had a nice weekend. 

My weekend pretty slow. I rested a lot on Saturday and finished my third puzzle for the month. I haven't been feeling the best lately. We did have Prayer all day at the church on Saturday in honor of Palm Sunday. You could come and go between 6 am and 7 pm. I went at 6-7 pm and then after I prayed, I practiced my solo I was singing for Palm Sunday which went good. 


ONE THING THAT WAS EXCITING.....



I had a little visitor. LOL! It was actually quite a lot of chaos. My husband had run some errands for me and was bringing things into the home and a bird that tries to keep building nests in our garage flew into our home. It made quite a mess. LITERALLY! SHOT MESS on my floor, on my door and cabinets. It flew into every single room as we tried to get it to go back out the door. 

Eventually, it flew back out! Thank the Lord.



My husband preached a beautiful message for Palm Sunday. The word BEHOLD is the word we are focusing on as a church this year.  I hand painted and made the letters back in December and did the flower arrangements for spring last week.

 Remember we are a "growing" church plant, so we have to be creative. :)  I did my best with what I have. :) 

 
Our Assistant Pastor conducted our communion, and it was beautiful. We have a lot of new Christians in our church, so he did a short teaching after the preaching before we served communion to explain what it was and the importance of it. It was excellent and beautiful. This was probably one of the most beautiful Palm Sundays we have had a in a long time. They are all special but for some reason this felt extra special. 




It was lovely. Afterwards, I had chicken alfredo in the oven waiting for us. We had lunch with some of our adult kiddos. Our youngest son was working on the river so was not able to be home. He is a deckhand on a boat. 

After that..... I did nothing. I have just not been feeling up to par. I did go to the doctor today and had some tests ran. My iron is really really low. So, that is contributing to the fatigue, and we are waiting on a couple of other things. 


We had some leftovers tonight and my husband and I tried to pull up some azaleas that died during our freeze two weeks ago. We didn't get as far as we liked but at least it was a start. 

That is it for now....

Until next time,

  1. When I was a child we used to get birds falling down our chimney all the time. We had a gas fire and we could hear them flapping behind it. We had to pull the fire away to let the birds escape and then open the windows for them to fly out, but before they did they created such a mess. I hope you feel better soon, low iron can make you feel so tired as well as account for lots of other things.

  2. That bird sound like a little more excitement than I'd like in my life. We have had birds (mostly hummingbirds!) get stuck in our garage before but thankfully not in our house. I hope you get some answers soon but low, love iron makes you sooo incredibly tired. It's something I've struggled with my whole life.

  5. Oh, Chrissy! I think I would have freaked out! I love watching birds outside my window, but have a fear of them close or near me! I hope you are feeling better soon. I have been tired lately, and I am hoping it is due to seasonal allergies. Or the fact I didn't but non-drowsy allergy medicine! Love this post, my friend.

  6. I sometimes get birds fly in my house too Chrissie. I have to quickly open doors & windows to get them out - they can make such a mess. I hope they get on top of your iron problem - you may need an injection. My friend has to have these every few years to keep her iron levels up. Take care Chrissie. xx

    1. Julie,
      They gave me a different prescription for my iron and also said I was depleted and had very low vitamin D so I will start that tomorrow.
